Folder File Capacity

•Each folder usually contains up to 100 images. However, since images shot in Continuous mode or Stitch Assist mode are always saved into the same folder, a folder may contain more than 100 images. The number of images may also exceed 100 if a folder contains images copied from a computer or images shot with other cameras. Please note, however, that the images in folders containing 2001 or more images cannot be replayed in this camera.
